Defiant Light Bar
Ok my California 4Runner commrades, anyone wanna be a guinea pig?? I got this response when emailing defiant about a 5th gen lightbar in the works... "Yes, there are plans to produce this. We have not yet had a 2010 4 Runner come into the shop for product dimensioning.
Once one of these shows up..all updates will be posted on the Toyota light bar section of the Defiant website.
Thank you,
Paul"

Those look pretty sweet. I would love to see what they look like on a 5th Generation.

It looks like Defiant will give you a free lightbar if you take your truck in for measurements.

Lights
Thanks for the info, I live 5 miles from there and called them. The only problem is that you cannot have a modified front end for that bar to work and right now demello is working on a prototype bumper for my truck. So if anyone is is going to keep their stock bumper and grilling; defiant is willing to work on the vehicle around october.

It would kind of defeat the purpose to have a Demello bumper or equivalent with light tabs on it and then have Defiant make you a simple light bar with light tabs on it.
Defiant does make some great products. I wanted one for my Tacoma before it veered way left from stock.

Yes you are correct, but when I saw light bar I thought it was something that went up on the roof...

I see that Defiant hasn't posted a light bar for the 5G on its website. Anyone in Cali take their truck in yet?

I got a replay from Paul @ Defiant today and he mentioned that they are wrapping up on a couple project right now and will start on the 5th gen 4R towards the end of the year. They are still looking for someone who will volunteer their vehicle for dimensions etc. So anyone in SoCal.... you still can be part of the development effort it seems.

Come on my fellow 4Runners, the Defiant guys still need a 2010 TE model to create a new light bar for us...this is the response I got when emailing bout an update...
"Good morning Wendy,
I have not had anyone stop into the shop for this model year...I would like to see one before the the holiday season.
You may need to hit the forums several times to get their attention...I had this issue with the FJ Cruisers. The response for the FJ took about 1 year...those boys moved slow.
When this product number gets under way, you will see the progress on the Defiant website under the Toyota/ 4 Runner Light Bar page...or, you can email me anytime...I am ususally here 7 days a week...
Thanks for the email"
PLeeeeeaaaasssseee someone stop in there and let them play with your truck...

I have called and e-mail them several times saying that im am willing to drive up and leave my car there for a week or so so they can do a light bar, they told me it was not in their plans for now for sure in the future and that they would let me know.
